It's the dopamine. That shit is so seductive, it's not even funny. It's a trap, though, as you well know.
I pretty much had to kick cocaine before even attempting to quit tobacco - can't have one without the other.
I didn't really talk much about my addiction prior to this, but I figure talking about it, if nothing else, forces me to be honest with myself. I broke the addiction last November. It doesn't bother me much any more.
